Does anything weird happen if a female receives a males kidney?

No: There is no evidence in kidney transplantation that the sex of the donor affects the recipient in any way.

No: If you are referring to some characteristic that differs between the sexes, i.e. Low voice, breast size, different genitalia, the answer is no.

No: Donor and recipients are never matched on sex. Spousal living transplants are also very commonly done.
